14 weeks old

Last Friday, Hank turned 14 weeks old!

Changes since last post:

  • No more lasix, back on aldactone and diuril
  • PICC line out!  No more IV lines (for the moment)
  • Back on full feeds
  • Down to 3 Liters of high flow oxygen.  Lowest he has ever been at and holding strong. 
  • Still growing. 
  • Still weaning from morphine. 
  • Gets to have feeds from a bottle.  He is allowed to have as much as he wants in 30 minutes.  Hank tires out quick, so he usually only takes about 15 to 20 mls (but has done more at times).  The rest goes through his NG tube.
